dear David,
I feel this is a nice letter from you in reply. I have not heard it from
anyone what they think of Brecht's poem "The cherry thief" which I like so
much:
maybe people do not want to engage in this.
Bertold Brecht
The Cherry Thief
Early one morning, long before cockcrow
I was awakened by whistling and went o the window,
I my cherry tree – grey dawn filled the garden –
Sat a young man with patched up trousers
Cheerfully picking my cherries. Seeing me
He nodded, and with both hands
Pulled the cherries from the branches into is pockets.
For quite a while as I lay once more in bed
I hear him whistling his gay little song.
Well, this is again Brecht's poem for those who would engage in some
discussion about a text.
